Danny The Mover

Danny and his crew do make moving seem fast and easy. They arrived slightly earlier than my scheduled appt. and were in good spirit. Both of them are easy to have a chat with. Danny exceeded my expectation of professionalism so in that sense I’d highly recommend his service.
Ok, so why the 3 stars? At the time of payment, Danny however added another 0.2 hrs to my 2 hrs min. when I know for sure the entire journey from start to finish did not take 2 hrs. He did not fully give me a sound explanation as to why I have to pay 0.2 hrs more. While I thought his site indicated that no fees or additional charges should be involved, I decided to let it go. Despite that, I still gave Danny a tip. I mean, moving is tough work.
Overall, I overpaid by $ 30 than budgeted. I’d caution you if budgeting is your thing but guess what, I’d still recommend this service if you want professional and reasonable services.

Second time using Danny and crew and both times they took care of everything and more! Danny, John, and Dwayne showed up on time and packed up my apartment to take to a new house across town. Man, were they efficient! And on the other side not only did they move stuff in place but took are of removing some used appliances, previous moving boxes and materials, reassembled furniture, and moved some heavy items out of the way. I’m definitely using them again for all sorts of hauling and moving. Even the first move was just furniture inside the apartment while it was renovated and I couldn’t even be there – no problems. Highly recommended!

Danny, John and Dwayne did a terrific job on our move. They were professional, fast and good guys to talk with during the process.
Janyce scheduled the move for us, and she was on top of all of the details. We even got a text the day before as a reminder — a nice touch.
For our next move, we will definitely use them again.

Another great move orchestrated & executed by Danny & Co… They make it look easy! #3 & counting. As long as I’m living in Seattle, Danny has a customer for life, in me… Always fast, efficient, honest & reasonably priced. What more could you ask for in a Moving Company?!
Keep up the great work fellas!

I called Danny the mover as I needed someone to move a piano. They did a great job and when it came time to move from my storage unit into my new house in Tacoma I decided to simply have them move all the furniture too. Again, it was easy and quick, even with the piano which is never simple. They were exactly on time and even finished a bit early. Yes, they charge for the time it takes to drive to you but their cost per hour is significantly less than other companies I’ve called so it really wasn’t a big deal at all. Frankly I’d use them again without question.

Moving day for me is usually like a combination of a root canal, tax day and stepping on a rusty nail at the same time — all in all, a not-​so-​great day.
Thank goodness for Danny the Mover! Fast, friendly, efficient service with a smile. I packed the smaller items and had them take care of the larger furniture, etc. They used pads and straps as appropriate and were respectful of my new home. Even with a 40 minute drive between the two homes, we were packed, moved and unpacked in under six hours. Thanks to their hard work, I now have the rest of the day to organize all of my belongings and enjoy my first afternoon in my new home.
What could have easily been one of the worst days of the year was more like a party with a lot of exercise! Thanks for the laughs, smiles, early arrival and care you took with my possessions!
If you’re moving soon, get on their books ASAP! These guys have a full schedule because they’re worth every penny!

We hired Danny and team to move the contents of one house into two, plus a storage facility. They arrived 30 minutes early, were polite and courteous and good-​humored all day long and handled all of our furniture and personal items with care. I’ve never been able to recommend a moving company before, but I will wholeheartedly endorse Danny the Mover to anyone and everyone.

We used Danny (and John aka The Beast) to move us from our downtown apartment to a new home in Magnolia. We were on a TIGHT schedule with the apartment loading dock/​elevator, and they stayed on time and within schedule. They were friendly, competent and professional. Would highly recommend.

Danny and Charles were GREAT. They showed up on time, and helped us move our stuff in an incredibly efficient manner. They were very careful with our goods. And nothing was damaged in the move. They made great use of the elevator, and defied physics to get our entertainment unit inside and up to the third floor. Next time we move, we will absolutely be calling them again. No question.
Jaynice, their coordinator has excellent phone skills, and answered all my questions prior to the move. And she gave us a completely accurate cost estimate. These guys are honest, hardworking, and worth every penny.

YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS. I hired this «professional» moving company because a few weeks ago I had emergency intestinal surgery and am still under doctors’ orders to not lift anything. I booked this way in advance and used one of my few days a year off the day before to prepare for Danny. I was told Danny and his crew would be at my place no later than 3pm on moving day.
I heard NOTHING until 4:30pm, when he called to say he still had 30 minutes of work to do and was over 30 minutes away. Moving companies are often late, so trust me, this isn’t the core of the issue…
When I told Danny someone else had the loading dock at my new place reserved at 6, Danny did not suggest but literally demanded that I call my new place and try and move «first thing in the morning» the NEXT day (the day I had set aside to deep-​clean my old place). «Call your apartment. Tell them you’re moving first thing in the morning.» I told him they didn’t have a loading dock reservation the next day until noon. He muttered «oh my god» at me under his breath on the phone, had zero accountability, and even called his last client a «liar» for underestimating the size of THEIR move.
I tried to reason with his secretary and she did offer a small apology but no one offered reasonable compensation for this insane snafu. At most I was told I could get «discounted drive time» (they charge you while they travel to and from you). I told her I would call U-​Haul and try and work something else out last minute. She pawned me off on another moving company, saying she didn’t have their number but to try them. THE DAY OF A MOVE. IN THE SUMMERTIME. AT 5PM?
Then Danny called me back at 5:30 to say that he was on his way… after the phone call RIGHT BEFORE when he told me we could not share elevators or loading docks with anyone else moving and tonight wasn’t going to work. Now he’s on his way??? I declined his «service.»
BECAUSE OF THIS COMPANY I had to move manually with one other person on the downtown streets over the course of 2 days (30 hours total), going totally against doctors orders and risking hernias and other complications to lift my possessions. I finished cleaning my old place at 2 in the morning Monday morning and went to work 4 hours later. I am in lots of pain today, but the worst part is the lack of ownership for the fluke. Why did I get attitude because THEY were late? I’m beyond disappointed.

I had a great experience moving with these guys. They did the job well, had great attitudes, showed up on time, worked quickly and followed instruction. Basically, they did everything I wanted for a very fair price. I couldn’t be happier and I would strongly recommend anyone to use their services. Thanks Danny!

Danny was great! They were super quick, efficient, kept my stuff in good condition. They even battled with my sofa which took forever to wedge out of my old place. They even admitted and pointed out a side table that had come apart during the move, which I appreciate the pointed it out instead of letting me «find» it later. Luckily it was easily repaired with a drill. They were also very nice to the tenants at my new place when people needed to move their cars. I would totally use them again!

Danny and john (big john they call him) did a great job with my move. I moved from west Seattle to cap. Hill without a glitch. They were on time, friendly and got right to work. I needed to ride in the truck with them to my new place and that was no problem either. He works hard and is a honest guy. Even after I paid I still needed help with assembling my bed. He didn’t charge me for the extra 15 min it took. This was my first time hiring movers and it’s worth every penny. Thanks guys!

Really happy with the work. I finally decided that an incredibly time consuming, overly complicated move strategy was for the birds and I will never go back. Danny called when they were en route and arrived about 10 minutes early. They had tools to dismantle my bedframe (luckily– since I couldn’t find the thing). They were super nice and efficient. As a head’s up– I already knew companies charge travel time so wasn’t surprised, but appreciated they were very clear about that when giving me an estimate. I also lucked out and got a winter rate but would have still be happy at the regular rate– they were that helpful. This took a lot of the stress out of moving for sure and would absolutely use Danny and John again.

Excellent! I called the day of to rush a move (I had a sublet take over my lease and move in ASAP) and they were able to fit me in. After packing up my place, we headed over to my new apartment to find that it was CLOSED! The movers stayed with me while I contemplated how to get out of my potential homelessness with all my stuff in their truck. They had to go to another job and I was able to get ahold of the manager, who had maintenance let me in! I called Danny and he made the trip back with my stuff to finish out the move. Best customer service ever! Friendly, funny, and went above and beyond, adapting to my mess of a moving day. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat!

Couldn’t be better. Showed up early, friendly, funny, and professional. Beat their quote by half an hour.

I called Danny last night, needing to move an enormous antique armoire this morning. Luckily, Danny and John were able to move the piece for me with 12 hours notice. They did an amazing job with a challenging move. It was nearly impossible to get a piece this size into my house, given the angles, but they managed it, and didn’t give up when it got difficult. (I’m looking at you, Home Depot delivery service!) I’ll definitely be calling Danny again when I need something moved or delivered. Highly recommended.

A HUGE thanks to Danny and his crew for all their hard work moving us into our new home in Ravenna! We truly appreciate how quickly they worked, and how well they took care of all our items. Competitive rates, fast service, and to top it all off, super nice guys. We will definitely use them again. ROCK ON Danny.

I must have picked the rainiest Saturday of them all to move, which meant I was extra thankful for Danny and John! They did a great job moving all of my stuff, including several pieces of large furniture, through the awkward corners of my new entryway. They were so friendly and worked tirelessly for hours, making this the smoothest move I’ve ever had. I was moving from South Lake Union to Lower Queen Anne, but they serve the entire metro area. I’ll definitely use them again the next time I move and would recommend them to anyone else!

Danny and John helped us move to our new apartment. They managed to get our giant couch into our tiny apartment, which I had assumed was going to be physically impossible. Overall, the guys were really cool and friendly.
The only disappointment I had was the lady on the phone told me it would only take 2 hours (and another one for driving) to move everything and it would probably take even less because we had moved most of the stuff ourselves.
Imagine my disappointment when I was billed for two more hours at the end.
However, when I ranted to an acquaintance, who works for a competing moving company, he explained to me that a two hour delay is entirely possible. Okay, sure, I can give the movers the benefit of the doubt, but if I consistently missed my estimates by 100% then I’d probably be fired.
Though another thing did leave a sour taste in my mouth. I was told the company billed by the quarter hour. My watch showed 12:41 when I had checked it but I was being presented with a bill for the full hour. I was a little confused and thought, «Maybe their watch is a few minutes faster?» So I asked for the time. Danny pulled out his phone and squinted at it for a while before handing it to me. The digital display showed 12:46.
Was he purposely delaying? Most likely not.
Was the time before 12:44 when he was filling out the bill? I have no idea.
Am I being cheap by complaining about 20 bucks? Yes, yes I am. But I would happily have tipped more than another 20 had they not charged me for last 15 minutes. Instead, I ended up feeling pretty uncomfortable about the whole exchange.
Lastly, I should have checked the filtered reviews before picking a moving company. If you look at histories of all of the negative and positive reviews then… well you can infer for yourself what it means when someone creates a Unilocal account to write a single review for a moving company and then disabling it.
In conclusion, I ended up cutting a check for 500 (5 hours * 80 + tax + tip) to move one bedroom’s worth of furniture from Downtown Bellevue to… a few blocks east of Downtown Bellevue. Am I delusional in thinking that I could have found a cheaper company? Maybe, but a lot of my co workers and friends have moved for less.
